OMAHOLA PROJECT DRILLING RESULTS

KEY POINTS

  • XRF Fusion chemical assay results have been received for the Omahola Project drill programme.

  • The results continue to extend and infill the Ongolo and MS7 deposits, with additional encouraging results from Ongolo South and reconnaissance drilling in the area.

  • At Ongolo there were some exceptional results, including:

  • ALAR1241 24 metres at 726 ppm U3O8 from 67 metres

  • o ALAR1243 61 metres at 424 ppm U3O8 from 138 metres o ALAR1247 39 metres at 611 ppm U3O8 from 105 metres

  • Selected results from MS7 included:

  • ALAR1138 6 metres at 417 ppm U3O8 from 251 metres

  • o ALAR1225 5 metres at 417 ppm U3O8 from 253 metres o ALAR1255 20 metres at 408 ppm U3O8 from 155 metres

  • Infill drilling at the newly discovered Ongolo South, provided further encouragement:

  • ALAR1215 3 metres at 3,368 ppm U3O8 from 232 metres

  • o ALAR1239 6 metres at 400 ppm U3O8 from 125 metres o ALAR1240 5 metres at 521 ppm U3O8 from 230 metres

  • Mineralisation intersected in drilling along Reconnaissance Line 13 has established a connection with Ongolo South: o ALAR1174 3 metres at 455 ppm U3O8 from 70 metres and 2 metres at 402 ppm U3O8 from 79 metres

  • ALAR1175 3 metres at 907 ppm U3O8 from 171 metres

Advanced stage uranium explorer Deep Yellow Limited (ASX: DYL ) is pleased to announce XRF Fusion chemical assay results from exploration drilling conducted by its wholly owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd (RUN) from its Omahola Project Ongolo-MS7 alaskite region. The 2012 drill programme in the region (Figures 1 and 3) is primarily designed to increase the size and confidence of existing resources as well as test for lateral and depth extensions, whilst the objective of the reconnaissance drilling programme is to find new satellite deposits for the Project.

Managing Director Greg Cochran said that the results continued to reinforce the Company’s confidence in the potential of the region, adding “We are now entering the last stage of our drilling programme at MS7 and look forward to the resource upgrade in September, to be followed by Ongolo later in the year, whilst the confirmation of mineralisation along the 4.5 kilometre aeromagnetic anomaly from Ongolo South also clearly has exciting potential.”

Ongolo Deposit

There were some exceptional intersections from the south west sector of the Ongolo deposit (Figure 1) which outlined a relatively shallow, wide high grade zone which is open to depth and to the WSW. This zone will be tested by further drilling in the coming months ahead of a JORC Mineral Resource update.

Figure 2: RC Drilling at the Ongolo Deposit – May 2012

Ongolo South Prospect

The discovery of the Ongolo South Prospect some 2 kilometres south of the Ongolo Deposit on Reconnaissance Line 5 highlighted the potential of an alaskite/calc-silicate-magnetite (skarn) contact zone to host uranium mineralisation (Figure 1).

Previously reported RC drill results (ASX 7 May 2012) from Ongolo South returned high grade uranium mineralisation, including 16 metres at 710 ppm U3O8 from 148 metres, 18 metres at 681 ppm U3O8 from 103 metres and 10 metres at 2,261 ppm U3O8 from 146 metres.

Uranium mineralisation is localised along the skarn contact zone which is marked by a regional aeromagnetic anomaly (Figure 1). In detail the magnetic anomaly comprises interbedded calc-silicates, marble, magnetite and skarn rocks within a biotite schist-quartzite sequence intruded by alaskite.

Selected results from this area included those presented below, with full results presented in Appendix 1, Table 1.

  • ALAR1215 3 metres at 3,368 ppm U3O8 from 232 metres

  • ALAR1239 6 metres at 400 ppm U3O8 from 125 metresALAR1240 5 metres at 521 ppm U3O8 from 230 metres

Reconnaissance Drilling Programme

Initial drilling results from Reconnaissance Line 13 and a deep intersection on Reconnaissance Line 9 have highlighted the prospectivity of the aeromagnetic anomaly which is some 4.5 kilometres along strike (Figure 1). There could be a connection between the Ongolo South Prospect and mineralisation intersected on Reconnaissance Line 13. This will be tested in the future by infill drilling along the anomaly. The results below were obtained at Reconnaissance Line 13 whilst hole ALAR1010 on Reconnaissance Line 9 returned 4 metres at 420 ppm U3O8 from 225 metres.

  • ALAR1174 3 metres at 455 ppm U3O8 from 70 metres and 2 metres at 402 ppm U3O8 from 79 metres

  • ALAR1175 3 metres at 907 ppm U3O8 from 171 metres

MS7 Deposit

XRF Fusion chemical assays for the ongoing infill drill programme in the central and northern sectors of the MS7 deposit were also received (Figure 3). The results confirm continuity between ‘resource blocks’ outlined by the 2011 and 2012 drill programmes and should serve to improve the JORC classification of the deposit. The latest available chemical assay results are given in Appendix 1, Table 2, whilst selected significant results include:

  • ALAR1138 6 metres at 417 ppm U3O8 from 251 metres

  • ALAR1225 5 metres at 417 ppm U3O8 from 253 metresALAR1255 20 metres at 408 ppm U3O8 from 155 metres

It is estimated that approximately 5,000 metres of drilling is required to complete the MS7 programme which will be followed by an update of the JORC Mineral Resource estimate.
